Trip Planner

Get there Fly to Punta Arenas (four flights/week from Santiago during high-tourist season, December through February) and take a bus or taxi three hours to Natales. 

Season/Gear Fall and spring (Natales gets more crowded during South America’s summer, December to March). Pack for cold and wet weather; it rains an average of 200 inches annually, average relative humidity is 75 percent, and the record high temperature is 89°F. Bring a synthetic (not down) sleeping bag, waterproof gloves, and three-layer raingear. This is not a place to experiment with ultralight.

Maps Patagonia Sur & Tierra Del Fuego ($7, patagoniainteractiva.com) 

Info Find the outfitters mentioned—plus other guides and tour operators in the region—at gopuertonatales.com. The site also lists hotels, hostels, and restaurants. For general info, see chile.travel.
